About The Cuming Museum

The Cuming Museum is the home of the worldwide collection of the Cuming Family and the museum of Southwark's history. It houses a diverse collection that includes archeology, ethnography, social history and natural history. A mix of permanent and changing exhibitions tells the story of the Cuming family, and the history of Southwark, from Roman times to the diverse communities of today.
The Cuming Museum is the result of over 100 years of collecting by father and son, Richard and Henry Cuming. When the Cuming family collection was left by Henry Cuming to the people of the parish of St Mary Newington (now the Borough of Southwark), money was also left for the building of a gallery to house the collection.
The Cuming Museum was opened to the public in 1906 in the gallery located at the back of Newington Library. In 2006, on the museum's centenary, the museum moved to its present location in the Old Walworth Town Hall, next door to the original museum.
